My new LG fridge freezer has a dial which reads "C . . . N . . . W",

this range".* WTF is all that about?* Why have a dial which I can turn
to where I shouldn't?* The manual says only "other positions will affect
the storage of food".

By now you would have had your answer if you either checked the user's
manual or called the customer service # that must be available either in
the manual or on line. Also, why not try the following experiment -
turn the dial all the way to "C". When the compressor stops running,
turn it further past the "C" and see if the compressor comes on again.
The dial label might just be a guide as to which direction to turn the
dial, not a "don't go past this point" indicator. If I had that
refrigerator, I'd be happy for the label, because my experience would
lead me to assume that the positions to the left would be warmer and
those to the right would be colder. (Maybe the engineers who designed
this unit come from a country where the language is read right to left?)
